About Us

CHS was founded in 2003 with a commitment to provide a comprehensive patient focused care coordination solution to medically complex adult and pediatric communities across the country. CHS takes a unique approach in accomplishing this goal by combining comprehensive industry best practices and innovative technologies to create a single, all-inclusive care coordination solution.

CHS has been on the cutting edge of Care Coordination working with States, hospitals, provider networks, and insurers as they evolved their processes and transitioned to, or away from care coordination and risk sharing models for delivering health care. We have incorporated everything we have learned from multiple customers into our processes and systems yet maintained our ability to remain flexible with the ability to quickly bring in other organizations structures, processes and tools to provide programs that are tailored to how and where you do business.

CHS is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida executing Care Coordination, Population Management and Discharge/Transition of Care services throughout the country. Our team of professionals includes physicians, nurses, social workers and care advocates. CHS, along with its sister organization, Premier Administrative Solutions, a third party administrator, is a multifaceted group experienced in and qualified to manage all aspects of a health care program.

CHS is committed to creating extraordinary partnerships with our clients and members, enabling us to provide unrivaled service.
